Why is Zandronum not packed with the 98A announcer anymore?

I realize Zandronum != Skulltag, but the 98A announcer was borderline perfect. The current Zan announcer just screams every line terribly (imo). Why was it changed it the first place?
Yes I realize you can add it yourself, but I think newer players would enjoy 98A more than what we have now.

But seriously 98a was (and still is) the shit, I see no reason for it to have been removed. Maybe some oversight?

I would assume Zandronum makes use of new entries that the 98a announcer doesn't have lines for, in which case including it as a default makes for a silly first impression on someone.
Though I'm all for having legacy downloads of previous announcers.

If people want I can throw up a link for it, I still have it along with MP2E's older announcer compilation that has the 97D announcer filling the holes.

I remember the more official reason was something like "omg copyright omg skulltag omg no default skulltag resources anymore"
Simply using 98a here, didn't notice any absent entries.

I personally prefer the 97D announcer but the 98a is also okay
